It's not a patch issue. You didn't mention clearing your cache there unless it's included in "whatnot", it's in your documents folder so a reinstall doesn't touch it.

Yeah I had to do a full reinstall but once I did HoD worked fine. I'm playing it right now. My first vanilla game was Persia, my first AHD game was Persia, and so the tradition continues. And oh my god fighting people to gain research points as an unciv is beyond glorious. Newspapers are amazing (I had something about Russians complaining something called "Dead souls" is too difficult). And my first crisis is brewing as the USA and UK compete over colonial rights in British Columbia.

So I'm not going to be able to get in on HoD since it costs more than what I have in my bank account right now, but I'm kind awondering if this isn't necessarily a bad thing after reading some stuff on the Paradox forums. Namely, this:quote:The worst thing in it is the ai releasing stupid dominions, in my game Portugal released the Kingdom of Mocambique, then colonized another state inland, released that as the Commonwealth of Mocambique and then colonized another two states inland and released that as the Confederation of Mocambique. There is also the Kingdom of North Angola and the Kingdom of East Angola... Any goons run into problems like this too? Also seeing a lot of stuff going on with North American colonization (the US being unable to colonize Washington state).

Nobody's really talking about naval combat though, it seems like it's being eclipsed by the dominion issues. Anyone confirm that it's fun?

Echoing the dominion issues, lots of strange little countries appearing. Maybe prevent the AI from releasing them before 1890 or something?

It might be because established colonies are a drain on colony points now, which gives more incentive to release states and the AI is just too heavily weighting that factor in decisionmaking. Edit:and not factoring in that CP don't really matter that much before a certain point.

gently caress you Paradox! I went to the Paradox website to buy HoD, first thing I see is Europa Universalis IV, click on the buy button, "coming soon" .... you ruined my day  I demand a beta invite to make up for this disaster.

Oh god has this always been in the vanilla game? Scramble for Africa has just started in my game and for some reason the UK is focusing on the remaining American provinces instead of Africa. They have level 3 naval bases on the ivory coast and in south Africa so they don't lack opportunity. Anyway, what's the difference between a protectorate and a "full" colony? The upgrade costs 20 points, is it worth it right away? I might have to try and create glorious byzantine Africa now, do I have to completely dismantle the Ottomans before I can take Istanbul or is it like EU3 where cutting the capital off from the other provinces is enough to be able to grab it in the next war? Ed: The crisis system is great, UK backed me every time and the Turks had to fork over state after state. My first crisis basically doubled my pop!

Ha! Portugal and the UK released almost every colony as a dominion a few days after the 1836 start.

If you're on the fence I'd wait for a patch to wrangle these dominion issues. The "four Mozambiques" mentioned above seems to be a common problem.

Is there a way to get an exact breakdown of what my colonial points are being spent on? Couldn't find it in the ledger or interface. EDIT: Might be nice to have a colonial breakdown on the outliner. Maybe your active attempts at colonizing, a little flag for other nations competing with you, days until you can advance a level, etc.

States's will colonize, then release a dominion, colonize, then release a dominion, and so on. Example: Instead of colonizing all of "New Zealand" and releasing a unified New Zealand dominion, GB will release its initial NZ colony as a dominion, then colonize the other open areas of New Zealand, then release them as dominions and so on. Consequently, you'll have three little New Zealand dominions where a full New Zealand dominion should exist.

Amazon is selling an "Online Game Code". Is it seriously Steam only? With no digital download? I bought the other two off Amazon and now I have to give money to Gamersgate (which I really don't want to do) just to get this expansion? At least let me migrate my previous purchases to Steam if you're going to pull this poo poo.

Yeah, I just bought HoD off GameStop Impulse or whatever they're calling it nowadays. It offered me a Steam code. My Vicky II and AHD are not Steam copies. It does not say anything anywhere about it being a Steam copy. Did I miss something? EDIT: gently caress it, grabbed Vicky II and AHD off the Paradox Webstore for 75% off. Wanted to migrate over there eventually anyway. Sky Shadowing fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Apr 16, 2013 |

They're the only retailer I know who gives you a straight-up 20% discount (and something like a 1% refund just for shopping there)

So my copy of Victoria II crashes everytime it loads up after installing Heart of Darkness. Reinstalling from scratch hasn't helped this either.  Wouldn't be a paradox game, I guess, if it worked right out of the box.

Uuuuh guys, Alaska isn't that great... I wanted to mess around with the dynamic dominions and used the console to grab much of Africa. The result isn't quite as expected.  Yes, that's the only nation I can release in Africa. I released Zanzibar earlier and Liberia (which didn't become a satellite, only sphered for some reason), this is all that's left now.

Man I forgot how bad I am at this game since I gave up on it a couple months after release. I got both expansion packs hoping to jump in but I'm terrible. I'm playing argentina, I start the game making almost -50 . Ok, that's just the AI buying up stockpiles, it will level out. Hmmm gently caress it isn't leveling out. I'll just cheap my self some money and wait for it to level out. Months go by and I'm still making -50 and running out of my dirty cheat money. I raise taxes, cut all military funding to almost 0 but I'm still losing massive amounts of money. What am I doing wrong? Why would a country start the game losing so much money? How did they even get to that point? Do all countries start like this or just argenina? I remember when the game first came out people complained that unless you were super pro at the game you'd just go bankrupt in the first months, then patches made countries more stable at the start. Now we seem back to massive impossible debts?

Having just finished an Argentina -> La Plata game in APD, it is rough at the start, yeah. What's your funding for your national stockpile like? I had to dial mine down to like 10% for the first few years.
